ABOARD THE USS DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER IN THE RED SEA—The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower may be one of the oldest aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy, but it’s still fighting—despite repeated false claims by Yemen’s Houthi terrorists.
The Houthis and social media accounts supporting them repeatedly have falsely claimed they hit or even sank the carrier in the Red Sea. The carrier leads the U.S. response to the terrorists’ targeting of commercial vessels and warships in the crucial waterway—attacks the Houthis say are aimed at bringing an end to the Israel–Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
